SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital – Janesville puts its patients and community first. Its goal was to create a healthcare campus that meets the highest standards for design and quality, all while reflecting the local culture and landscape. Key considerations included cost-efficient operations and sustainable practices, as well as flexibility for future expansion. An integrated, patient-centric design process was used to best ensure the hospital could offer quality care.

Through an integrated project delivery model, the design process was informed by cost implications from the very start. Critical decisions were also based on market realities, regional influences, and evidence-based design research. In turn, an efficient design was created that produced significant savings. These savings allowed SSM Health to reinvest in the project for added programming, equipment, and detailed design work. The completed hospital is a state-of-the-art healthcare facility that was built under budget and supports growth to best serve the local community.
